The annual iRODS User Group Meeting brings iRODS users, administrators, Consortium members, and staff to discuss iRODS-enabled applications and discoveries, technologies powered by iRODS, and the future of iRODS and the iRODS Consortium. The meeting hosts presentations from the user community and the core development team, including use case presentations, live demonstrations, and open discussions about requested iRODS features.

The iRODS Consortium is pleased to present the annual iRODS UGM Best Student Technology Award.

The DICE team (including Reagan Moore, Arcot Rajasekar, and Hao Xu), along with the iRODS Consortium, has funded this $200 award into the future and to encourage submissions of ongoing iRODS-related work from students around the world. Examples may include, but are not limited to, a new iRODS client or library, an integration with existing infrastructure, or a particular piece of policy.

To be eligible, the student (from undergraduate to doctoral) must be a named author on the submission and present their work at the User Group Meeting.

Submissions are judged based on the technology, not the presentation.

Employees of the iRODS Consortium are ineligible.
